Speck of Light

When all my hopes were crumbling my family and friends never leave my side and comfort me to I point that I felt whole and warm again.

 

 

Speck of Light 

 

I broke and crumbled into million pieces.

I screamed and no one heard me.

No one could comfort me.

My grief became my brick wall.

It stopped me cold and shattered my hopes.

The light at the end got bleak like my dreams.

 

I was surrounded by bad ideas,

Like nightmares they tormented me.

I didn’t want to cry… but

One tear got away and so the rest came out.

I was crushed once more by my thoughts,

I felt lost within my own mind.

 

I asked myself, why.

Why I felt so stupid?

Why I wasted my time?

Why… simply, why couldn’t I escape?

 

At the very end of my torment,

Where all hopes and dreams were lost,

I saw I dim light going stronger.

I thought it was a mirage… a trick.

How can someone so deep in grief,

Could get a second chance?

I asked myself in distrust.

 

It was there, in front of me.

I wasn’t sure what to expect.

It was hope in form of words.

My grief was winning,

But the light got stronger… brighter.

And all of the sudden,

I wasn’t alone anymore.

Author's Note

I was at the edge of depression a couple of weeks ago, but I was aided by my family and friends. This poem is dedicated to them.

this is awesome! i can't tell you how many times a friend or family member has pulled me out of depression. during those times is when you find out who is there to help you and who is just willing to be friends when your happy. some people just don't understand the tough times are what true friendship is all about. but it sounds like you have ones that do.
